Indiana Flooding: U-Haul Offers Disaster Relief at 34 Stores Statewide

INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--U-Haul^® Companies in Indiana announced Friday they are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box^® container use to aid residents affected by the continued storms and flash flooding slamming the Midwest this week.

Heavy rainfall and flooding has been reported across much of Indiana as water rises to dangerously high levels in some communities while impacting people’s safety, homes and belongings.

Access to self-storage units and portable storage containers is essential to communities when natural disasters strike.

Jeff Steffani, U-Haul Area District Vice President for Indiana and Michigan, stated his teams are ready to help anyone affected by the flooding who needs a secure storage solution at no cost for one month.

The 30 days free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box rentals and is based on availability. The U-Box offer is for on-site storage at participating facilities; delivery is available for a modest fee.

Please reference the list below for cities where U-Haul locations are offering the disaster relief program. Stop by any U-Haul-owned and -operated facility in these cities or call the nearest regional office to arrange 30 days of free storage.
